discussion What was the first model you ever made

[Guest]

I will always remember my first kit, it was an Airfix tractor, although I think my dad actually finished it because I was getting glue all over the kit!

It started me on a journey that I cannot see and end to.... thankfully.

I was just talking about this very thing yesterday. My son (5) and I are making an Airfix Westland helicopter and I was thinking of my own first kit. It was the Matchbox P51 Mustang called Dooley Bird. That would have been around 1978. After 'helping' my own father build the 1:72 scale Hercules with Land Rover and Bloodhound missile combination, it was my first solo project. I wish I still had both of those kits now.

The first kit i ever made was an airfix heinkel he 111 1:72 if memory serves i think i used that much glue on it when my little sister tried to make it fly the only things that broke off were the props and th guns, like bunker that was 35 years ago..... oh and as for the paint job lets just say i was no artist.

My first model was an Airfix Gulf Porsche 917 8 years ago when i was 6. Its a bit tatty and i forgot to paint some parts lol. It looked ok until the family cat knocked it off the shelf. So now it doesnt have any head light covers lol.

1/72 Airfix Spitfire.Whichever was current in the late sixties. It was truly terrible but I liked it. I did build a few ships around this time, I remember shooting up a Bismark with my air rifle, but finally settled on aircraft.
